I am a 3rd Generation Pilates instructor having been trained by Katrina Foe, a 2nd Generation Master Teacher Trainer. Katrina Foe was trained by Lolita San Miguel (1st Generation) who was trained by Joseph Pilates. I completed my training with Katrina Foe in Arizona, USA. I am also a Pilates Method Alliance Certified Pilates Trainer and an Australian Pilates Method Association Level 2 Teacher. I have a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Spanish from the USA and a Graduate degree in Primary Teaching from New Zealand.
In June 2013, I completed a 400-hour internship at Personalized Pilates in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. I learned about Pilates, customer service, and how to run a Pilates studio. In January 2014, I completed the Pilates Progression Apprentice Program through Balanced Body and Personalised Pilates which included 600+ hours of comprehensive training. This included the full spectrum of exercises in the Pilates system on all apparatus and equipment; Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel. In October 2014, I became a PMA certified Pilates teacher and in May 2015, I became a Level 2 instructor through the APMA.
